TD Ameritrade FAQ

Pros

Ability to work from home during the pandemic

Cons

Way too little pay for the amount of work employees are responsible for, ($20.13/hour), all metrics tracked down to the second, I personally resigned due to my manager telling me to use paid break time to use the restroom (which took about 2 minutes between calls). I since got hired on to Robinhood where they pay $25/hr, 8 more PTO days, unlimited sick days, mental health days, 100% employer paid benefits, and Reps only handle emails and outbound calls--no call center. Would not recommend working as a Rep at TDA. I happened to have a bad manager--not all managers were like mine at TDA.

Advice to Management

Micromanaging and focusing on metrics causes employees to be miserable at work. It doesn't have to be as strict as some managers at TDA make it be.

Pros

Various perks like free coffee bars, 2 large cafeterias, game rooms, etc.

Cons

Huge lay offs after selling to another company

Advice to Management

No advice would help them now.

Pros

The people here are second to none the job itself is rewarding and your peers are the best in the industry. Their overall benefits package is also very impressive

Cons

none i can think of at this time

Pros

Fully paid licensing program Work from home flexibility Discount on company stock Month long sabbatical every 5 years 5% employer match

Cons

Training program during licensing should be longer given how much isn't covered that you have to know to do your job. It definitely feels a bit overwhelming. More time could be spent on comprehension of processes and different systems the reps have to use to do their jobs efficiently.

Pros

Excellent company benefits, health, dental, vision, PTO, and bonuses based on profits.

Cons

Very far behind the competitors as far as technology.

Advice to Management

Too many chiefs
